Policy

Recording
The Gabe Dixon Band welcomes and encourages audio taping at all shows provided that it is permitted by the venue.
Audio taping is limited to microphones only (no soundboard patches).
You will need to provide your own mics, recorders, and power (bring batteries).
No external power sources will be provided (so leave the long extension cords at home-thanks!)
So as not to obstruct anyone's view, video taping is not allowed.
There are no designated tapers' tickets or taping sections at GDB shows. As such, taping will be permitted on a space-available basis with any ticket.
The enjoyment of the audience in attendance at a concert always takes precedence over recording efforts. This means that at no time should tapers ever require other patrons to be quiet or otherwise interfere with their enjoyment of the show.
Duplication
All taping must be for personal use only, which may include trading. Selling recordings of GDB shows is prohibited.
All participants in audio recording exchange (regardless of format) acknowledge and respect the copyrights and exclusive ownership of the music and performances by the performers, writers and publishers.
Recordings may be traded only for an equivalent amount of similar media (cassettes or CDs, pre-recorded or blank).
Regardless of any expenses incurred, no money may ever be exchanged as part of a trade; however, stamped, self-addressed envelopes may be included with blank media.
If GDB make a particular show (or a compilation of performances) available for sale, this "official" version will take precedence over amateur recordings being offered for download, trade, etc. In these instances, we require that digital audio repositories remove any recording of these particular performances from their collections within three days of the official release announcement.
Notwithstanding the above, GDB reserves the right to require immediate removal of any unreleased GDB material.
It is the responsibility of the site host to remain informed of the current list of GDB's officially-released recordings and to maintain their site accordingly. In no case may any officially-released GDB recording (live or studio) be duplicated or otherwise traded or offered.
Audience taping at GDB concerts is authorized for non-commercial purposes only. Unauthorized sale, duplication and/or distribution is strictly forbidden. All GDB performances and recordings are the exclusive property of GDB. All rights reserved.
